Flex spending accounts are a very popular way to beat the rising cost of healthcare. The problem is that in the beginning of year you have to decide how much you want to put aside for your medical expenses. As you know this can be hard to do, since a person’s health can be unpredictable. The other major problem with this tax beneficial healthcare payment program is that money in an account that is not spent during the calendar year in which it is deposited will be forfeited. In other words, you need to “use it or lose it”.

We have a solution for you that can keep you from losing your hard earned flex spending dollars, that you may not have thought of. Order some contact lenses, get some new designer eyeglasses, or get a new pair of prescription sunglasses.
